Some of the _____ who work here. I got your latest note on Tuesday and more books came on Wednesday. The Far Side book is already bringing smiles to others.

Thanks for continuing the book buying.

I got a really neat book on MIDI, it has some really great educational concepts in addition to shattering the myth that anyone can sit in front of their computer and create music. Yes, you can burn a CD, but you still need to pay your dues to learn how to use all the various facets needed to actually create a work of art!

Speaking of art, I am very impressed by your high-class writing supplies! My compliments to the artist! It fits closely with what I have been studying and self-discovering. We need to support our children! Despite what the MasterCard commercials hints at, there are lots of things that MasterCard cannot do. Tell the artist that his artwork is currently hanging on my bulletin board!

Speaking of bulletin boards (wow, what segues); my bulletin board was assaulted by the Unit Manager today. Although everything in here is defined by policy statements, there is no policy that says what is unacceptable, except for nude pictures, which, since we are not allowed to receive them, are illegal to possess.

I had a 4" X 6" hand-printed Bible verse that read "Be still and know that I am God", a great cartoon that shows the benefit of reading, and a few other assorted headline clippings.

Well, they were all removed!

When I approached the person who was the responsible for their removal, she told me she threw them in the trash, and if I did not get away from her, she would write an incident report. Mind you, I have never had any such report written on me. That is the exception around here. Incident reports and trips to the SHU (Special Housing Unit) are badges of honor for most of my fellow inmates.

I decided not to press the issue because she can simply open my locker and start tearing apart my library! So tonight when I simply look up at my board, I am reminded that there are people who get paid some of those wonderful tax dollars to come in here and act like complete "_____".

Left blank to protect the guilty!

You can pick your favorite noun to fit in there.
